[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 61020, member: 231"] The source he used was the one you gave . . . On 2nd point your opinion has less anecdotal validity given even just the last few higher ranked kids Tech landed who have had a difficult time getting in or staying eligible: Myles Autry; Travis Custis; Jabari Hunt-Days; and Junior Gnonkonde. It is also well hashed on this board the frequent cases in which certain kids have to wait until they improve their grades or get higher test scores before they can get that Tech offer. Also Tech recruiters have to get on kids very early in high school so that if they are interested in Tech they can be sure to take the right course-load in high school to be on target for getting in. It is reasonable to assume that these last two elements will not always be attractive to even high achieving academic kids, or at least they can potentially be real turnoffs when one has good academic schools like Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, UVA, Stanford, etc., being less demanding of what you study and do in high school. These do not even entail DCS's frequent point that a high academic achieving high schooler has to actually be interested in degrees Tech has to offer. They pretty much can't be [I]primarily [/I]interested in the humanities & liberal arts, that's for sure. Finally . . . there is the impact of the bagmen. The one reporter who did a serious investigation of it claims that 100% of 5 star recruits and 75-80% of 4 star recruits are influenced by bribery into their choice of schools. So where is the evidence for your generalization that there are "more than enough" high academic achieving AND high quality football potential kids to recruit simply in GA? Actually, what could even count as evidence for such a hopeful assumption? [/QUOTE]
